In 22.2 we added extra validation for region configs, which made (#100913) the skip_localities options problematic if the primary region of the database being restored no longer exists. While this option will correctly skip the validation of regions for databases, there is no real path for actually fixing the region anymore, since the same validation blocks alter commands. Our options are to either:

  1. Have restore completely wipe / re-configure the multi-region properties of a database
  2. Allow ALTER DATABASE SET PRIMARY REGION to work within a transaction to fix this issue
  3. Have a temporary bypass via a session variable to disable validation for this use case

Previously, if a database was restored with skip_localities,
there was no way to modify this database to set the primary
region since validation would kick in too early during the
statement. This meant fixing the regions in a restored database
was impossible if the primary region was no longer valid. To
address this, this patch, delays locality validation till the
end of the transaction.

Fixes: cockroachdb#103290

Release note (bug fix): SET PRIMARY REGION and SET SECONDARY REGION
did not validate transactionally, which could prevent cleaning up
removed regions after a restore.

103265: kv: resolve conflicting intents immediately for latency-sensitive requests r=nvanbenschoten a=nvanbenschoten

Fixes #50390.
Related to #60585.
Related to #103126.

Closes #64500, which was an earlier attempt to solve this issue using a similar approach. This commit addresses the comments on that PR, which focused on the pagination of intent resolution when bypassing the request batcher. We still don't try to solve this issue, and instead limit the cases where intent resolution bypasses the request batcher to those where pagination is not necessary.

This commit adds a new `sendImmediately` option to the `IntentResolver` `ResolveOptions`, which instructs the `IntentResolver` to send the provided intent resolution requests immediately, instead of adding them to a batch and waiting up to 10ms (`defaultIntentResolutionBatchWait`) for that batch to fill up with other intent resolution requests. This can be used to avoid any batching-induced latency and should be used only by foreground traffic that is willing to trade off some throughput for lower latency.

The commit then sets this flag for single-key intent resolution requests initiated by the `lockTableWaiter`. Unlike most calls into the `IntentResolver`, which are performed by background tasks that are more than happy to trade increased latency for increased throughput, the `lockTableWaiter` calls into the `IntentResolver` on behalf of a foreground operation. It wants intent resolution to complete as soon as possible, so it is willing to trade reduced throughput for reduced latency.

I tested this out by writing 10,000 different intents in a normal-priority transaction and then scanning over the table using a high-priority transaction. The test was performed on a 3-node roachprod cluster to demonstrate the effect with realistic network and disk latencies.
```sql
-- session 1
CREATE TABLE keys (k BIGINT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY);
BEGIN; INSERT INTO keys SELECT generate_series(1, 10000);

-- session 2
BEGIN PRIORITY HIGH; SELECT count(*) FROM keys;
```

Without this change, the scan took **70.078s**. With this change, the scan took **15.958s**. This **78%** speed-up checks out. Each encountered intent is resolved serially (see #103126), so the **per-intent latency** drops from **7ms** to **1.6ms.** This improvement by about 5ms agrees with the `defaultIntentResolutionBatchIdle`, which delays each resolution request that passes through a RequestBatcher. With this change, these resolve intent requests are issued immediately and this delay is not experienced.

While this is a significant improvement and will be important for Read Committed transactions after #102014, this is still not quite enough to resolve #103126. For that, we need to batch the resolve intent requests themselves using a form of deferred intent resolution like we added in #49218 (for finalized transactions).

A similar improvement is seen for scans that encounter many abandoned intents from many different transactions. This scenario bypasses the deferred intent resolution path added in #49218, because the intents are each written by different transactions. The speedup for this scenario was presented in #64500.

Release note (performance improvement): SQL statements that must clean up intents from many different previously abandoned transactions now do so moderately more efficiently.
